Wanted............

[Acid House]

Ok you lot..... And stop laughing at the back.......

I have just taken delivery of my new fore and aft (without flaps) and would like a 'show' fly to adorn its band.

I’m not looking for half a peacock stuck on the side but something that oozes the same unassuming yet confident class abounded by its wearer.


And yes ill have it on a few times as well..............


As I am a useless lump, with hands like 5lb of badly wrapped sausages, I won’t be attempting one myself but would like to commission the challenge to anyone that could help.

What do you think would compliment my crown?

So, I'm guessing this is like a Deer Stalker without the flaps then?

Could you give us some idea roughly of what you like? We could suggest all sorts of things, there are some really spectacular Salmon flies but they may prove a health hazard in a hat

What sort of size and do you prefer to have something that suggests the type of fishing that you normally do? If so then let us know some particulars ^^

How about a Dog Nobbler, or a Growler

I like this one..............




It would probably have to be a salmon fly for size but the colour is unimportant.
I would like you to delve deep into artistic licence and make it fun rather than a fish catcher.
Nothing too serious 'to match my character'
Around two to two and a half inches as I have a big head and a large single hook so I can blunt the end for safety.

Better off going for a tube fly or hair wing mate otherwise the fly will cost a damn sight more than the hat.
